Animal was one of the biggest hits of 2023. The film, however, also sparked debates, with viewers raising concerns over misogyny.
The film also starred Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol in lead roles. The post-credits scene teased a sequel titled Animal Park, in which Ranbir will be seen playing a double role.
Animal revolves around a troubled father-son relationship, with Ranbir in the role of Rannvijay Singh, who seeks revenge after an assassination attempt on his father.
